§ 5870 District Formation And Debt
If more than half of the voters say yes to creating a new district and letting it borrow money for a project, the county board must write down that decision, describe the district, and say the district can borrow the approved amount.
A small town votes to create a new fire protection district and approves borrowing $2 million to build a fire station.
Because the vote was more than 50% in favor, the county board records the new district’s name, its borders, and the approved loan amount, then declares the fire district officially formed and allowed to borrow the $2 million for the fire station.
